temporarily
then to have you always
only to watch you spoil and decay
or our passion slowly slip away
It is better to have you now
temporarily
while you are perfect
in my mind
then to have you for all time
and take you for granted
or become too comfortable
losing all excitement and adventure
It is better to have you now
temporarily
before the sparkle in your eyes dull
and you start to gray
spoil and decay
I want to remember you
as the handsome man you are,
were
It is better to leave you now
while I am still happy
and there is no bitterness between us
and you become emblazoned in my mind
as a lover I once had
while traveling across the ocean
It is better to have you now
temporarily
then not have you at all. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 19 [informant] => blinkme82 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
